Yes - I stay home. We struggle financially but it's what I call 'the trap' to earn enough money to still have some left after paying for childcare I'd need to work full time, and that is not an option for me. I love being home with my baby and here for my boys during the holidays. I worked...

Well, Toby's had a busy week!! He has learned to feed himself with a spoon and he's learned to walk!! The current record is nine steps.

erm samharris, where did you find this post!!???? It is over a year out of date!!!!! I had a boy!!!!!

I'm so glad you posted this. I am the same. My ex used to dial adult chat lines every time I went out to have a w*nk and now I hate going out and leaving new hubby at home. I worry so much he'll do the same. And because I don't go out, and my whole life is based in this house now I have a...

Toby is going to be one next month :shakehead: I am trying really hard at the moment to do all the christmas shopping online, look after my older two before and after school, make jewellery, sell jewellery, build my website, washing, cleaning, etc (although not nearly as much as I should be...

Well, Toby is coming up 11 months and is now in a forward facing group 1 car seat, which he absolutely loves. BUT it has interfered with his sleeping something chronic! He used to fall asleep in his car seat on school runs etc and I would carry him in and he would sleep on for an hour or so...

GOOD LUCK!! I have not ever had a miscarriage but still found my early scan a complete nerve wracker!!! I can't imagine how you must be feeling. :pray:

They get pretty self sufficient don't they!! We play hut the dummy nearly every night and I have to say having some to hand is a very good idea. Maybe I should switch to water, but I don't think Toby will be having any of that!

You're more than welcome. I'm glad it made sense. I think your subconcious made you behave as if you 'hate' children to protect you. It's the way you kept them at arms reach and out of your face so you didn't have to deal with it head on. What happened to you is a very hard thing to recover...

You poor thing - being tortured by things that you don't understand from the past is absolutely awful. Having got through lots of life's shocks and complications, like nearly everyone, I know how things which have traumatised me in the passed have haunted me and continue to do so in some ways...

:cheer: yay! Well done! Let's hope he keeps it up x

Just thought I'd ask how many of you leave baby with milk in their cots? Does anyone else do it or is it just me? I know you're not supposed yo leave them alone with a drink but i'm not sure what age that stops. Toby's nearly a year and his cot is next to my bed, so i can hear him easily, but if...

CONGRATULATIONS!! She is lovely. Enjoy an amazing first christmas together :hug:

:shock: Toby has slept through the night for the last three nights!! I can't believe it. He still has a bottle of milk to grab for the occassional slurp though. He always sleeps in a sleeping bag, but on Sunday night we stayed out at my brothers until bed time, and his sleeping bag was wet...

Here's one of my hobbies! Making jewellery and photographing it is actually taking all my time at the moment as I am trying to set up a business out of it. Being at home with Toby is lovely, and I really don't want to have to get a job and childcare! I will soon be adding childrens name plates...
